Simple but flavourful dinner saver with few ingredients. Suggested rice is 80 grams per person, but I use 100 because someone always wants seconds 👍.
Do I have all the ingredients?

- Step 1 of 8
I trim, wash and thinly slice leek.
- Step 2 of 8
I gently soften in plenty of oil, adding stock if needed and little salt.
- Step 3 of 8
I add rice and toast briefly.
- Step 4 of 8
I deglaze with white wine.
- Step 5 of 8
Once evaporated, I gradually add boiling stock, stirring to cook.
- Step 6 of 8
After 15 minutes, loose risotto is ready. Off heat, I add butter, Parmesan and pepper and vigorously stir and move the pan to release starch for a velvety cream.
- Step 7 of 8
I plate with crumbled bacon, air-fried at 200°C for 15 minutes or until crisp, turning halfway. A griddle, microwave or normal oven works too.
- Step 8 of 8
I drain cooked bacon on paper and cool to crisp, adding savoury flavour.
